Synopsis/Details
Ethan, a calculating street criminal, meets with his trusted lieutenant Conner to discuss eliminating rival dealers. Their conversation reveals years of partnership built on blood and loyalty. As they strategize over cognac, Ethan probes Conner about human weaknesses, power, money, and women.
The discussion becomes a psychological chess match as Ethan reveals his philosophy about trust and vulnerability. When Conner suggests using women to set up their enemies, Ethan's questioning becomes more pointed and personal, creating mounting tension.
Ethan springs his trap. He knows Conner has been sleeping with his girlfriend.
